25% productivity boost to gas and oil mine maintenance with an intelligent control system

The medium length of drill rigs in oil and gas wells varies from 1000 meters to 1200 meters. Six and nine meter drill rigs are lifted from the bore holes in 6 and 9 meter batches. The new CAN-based control system of a 75-digit Flush by unit device for gas and oil well maintenance by an Australian company Exploration Drill Rig (XDR) enables winching the rigs automatically. The automation of this work phase has boosted work productivity by 25 per cent.

Increase productivity by 25 % with automation!
Before, drill rigs were lifted and lowered into the wells manu-
ally. The work was very slow and prone to user errors. Now,
the control system winches the rig on behalf of the user and
communicates in real time in which height the rig is going up or
down.
With the control system the user can also set a height limit
to, for example, six meters and activate the lifter, which then
stops at the set height automatically. – You don’t have to think
it through and reset anymore if the rig is in 6 or 6,1 meters. The
automation of the winching speeds up the work considerably,
describes Pekka Kuusimaa from Comet-Tech.
Automatic stopping also prevents errors. You can’t run the wire
cable through the attachments of the mast anymore when
performing maintenance on the machine. – Previously it was
possible if the user was careless and didn’t stop the winching
early enough, Kuusimaa comments.
• speeds up the winching of the rigs and reduces user
errors, because the system stops the rigs at exactly
the right time
• the end user gets more information and more
accurate information about the functionality of the
machine, which enables them to, for example, time
the replacement of the wire cable better
• safety has been improved with, among other things,
angle sensors
